Plus, Josh hates vegetables. So, he feeds his phone lots of hormone laden meat, and that causes his phone to mature faster.

I love vegetables. Hormone laden meats just taste terrible. That's why I'm a vegetarian, lol.

Indeed. Welcome to irony, Josh.

Sorry, something is wrong. I can't even imagine why I just didn't post this: :lol:

 

No apology necessary. My sense of humor tends to make reference to lots of obscure things. I know that you are a vegetarian (and respect that). It is just funny to think of your phone having menopause and you feeding a phone meat.

You do crack some really funny jokes.

Yea, Sepulveda pass ty. I haven't had issues with calls, only a two drops that I cam remember out of tons since I am there a lot, but 3G seems to have gotten slightly better. Not enough for anything more than a quick 1 post mention though, more like a tiny difference that os getting me exited with anticipation over the impending LTE switch flip! :)

405 has been better for me. At the top of the 405 I was able to get 1500kbps down. The areas where I would always drop calls have gone back to the way it was. For a while there, I was dropping a calls six times through the pass... even just outside the pass between Sunset and Wilshire. Now it only happens on the North side going up or down. So far. so good. from Wilshire to the top of the 405. I hope it doesn't go backwards again.

 

Now if they can only fix the area just past the bridge and the 101. That area has been a problem for years!

I hope this is a sign of LTE coming to San Pedro. This test was taken at Field of Dreams soccer field near Westmont and Gaffey streets.

We know that LTE is coming to the LA market, and eHRPD is just the pre-cursor, so you should see LTE springing up all over LA as soon as Sprint stops blocking the towers.

I'm excited because there is no Wimax in San Pedro and most of the peninsula area. The WiMax signal drops South of Pacific Coast Highway which was such a tease when I had the OG EVO, 3VO, and Epic 4G Touch because 3G data speeds were slow until a few months ago in the South Bay area (i.e. <.5 down and up) . I realize data speeds are relative, and I read many posts from others in Cajun Country (GEAUX TIGERS), Minnesota, Phoenix, etc who would dream to have such speeds. But Los Angeles is a world metropolitan area, and frankly there were many areas where data speeds were unacceptable.

 

And as I finish typing this post, my phone shows that I have no signal in my area. So I hope this is a sign that Sprint is testing the towers before unleashing LTE in my area.

It's coming to Long Beach too! In 90804 ehrpd just got turned on. I couldn't send texts, sprint made me do the ##72786#. Had issues with activation, turned off me cdma/lte to just cdma. The activation of the phone finally worked. (it was failing with 1211 code when updating profiles)

 

I checked a few of my last speedtests, and Monterrey park got turned on too. The last pictures is from Long Beach. The usual speed in my house was around 20-40k, now I'm getting more than 10X that!

i am getting much higher data speeds all over the San Fernando valley lately. im even getting 3-4 bar of service at my home' date=' where i use to get 1-2 bars before. something is cooking...[/quote']

 

SFV is a definite Network Vision deployment area.

Nice I live in El Monte, not too far from Monterey Park I hope it does mean LTE around here :D

 

 

I'm in San Gabriel right now and took this speed test on San Gabriel Blvd. and Hermosa which is only a few mike away from El Monte.

SFV has great coverage for me. The Westside however is worse than ever in some areas. I'm between the only two towers that are set and have apparently completed 3G network vision per your maps and I can barely do anything using 3g data. I'm really hoping the backbone hasn't been upgraded yet.

Most likely the backhaul upgrades aren't complete, or by some freak chance, your phone is connecting to a tower much further away. I live in a market with only bandaid fixes and sometimes my phone connects to really overburdened towers. It's terrible when that happens.

Ditto! It has fair-OK coverage (about 0.50 - 0.70Mbps Download all over the SFV for me (except east of Northridge (haven't been there lately). But then where I live, I get about 0.05-0.10Mpbs on a good day... Often the 3G icon is simply not visible on my phone at all.. and I live about 1.5 miles south of Ventura Blvd near Topanga Canyon Blvd. I'm really just holding my breath until LTE gets launched because right now, Navigation, Maps, Facebook, Picture Mail, and web browsing are just a fond memory on my phone.

I have confidence it will be any week now we will see testing starting up and the boards will light up with reports of LTE in various and sundry locations.

---bon courage my Los Angeles friends! It won't be long now...

Over the weekend they turned on ehrpd in orange county, is this the first step?

 

eHRPD is needed in LTE deployment areas (as well as areas adjacent to deployment areas). However, eHRPD has in some cases been deployed 6 months to a year in advance. So, it is not necessarily indicative of LTE imminence.

    • February is always closer than you think! https://stadiumtechreport.com/news/caesars-superdome-gets-matsing-deployment-ahead-of-super-bowl-lix/ Another Super Bowl, another MatSing cellular antenna deployment. Caesars Superdome, home of the NFL’s New Orleans Saints, has deployed a large number of cellular antennas from MatSing as part of an effort to increase wireless network capacity ahead of the upcoming Super Bowl LIX in February, 2025. It is the third such deployment of MatSing equipment at Super Bowl venues in as many years, following cellular upgrades at Allegiant Stadium for Super Bowl LVIII and at State Farm Stadium for Super Bowl LVII. According to the Saints, the MatSing antennas were part of a large wireless overhaul this offseason, done primarily “to satisfy fans’ desires for wireless consumption and bandwidth,” an important thing with Super Bowl LIX coming to the venue on Feb. 9, 2025. Each year, the NFL’s big game regularly sets records for wireless data consumption, with a steady upward progression ever since wireless networks were first put into stadiums. https://www.neworleanssaints.com/news/caesars-superdome-transformation-2024-new-orleans-saints-nfl-season-part-1-wifi-upgrades-wireless-cellular During the offseason renovation project, the foundation of the facility's new Distributed Antenna System (DAS) was the installation of 16 multi-beam, wideband spherical lense antennas that are seven feet in diameter and weigh nearly 600 pounds apiece, a model called the MatSing MS-48H180. Another 16 large antenna spheres of varying sizes and frequencies have also been installed for a total of 32 new large antennas, in addition to 200 cellular antennas inside and around the building, all of these products specifically made for high-density environments such as stadiums and arenas. The DAS system's performance is expected to enhance further as it becomes fully integrated throughout the season. The MatSing MS-48H180 devices, with a black color that matches the Caesars Superdome's roof, each were individually raised by hoist machines to the top of the facility and bolted into place. Each cellular antenna then transmits 48 different beams and signals to a specific area in the stadium, with each sphere angled differently to specifically target different coverage areas, allowing increased, consistent coverage for high-density seating areas. In addition to creating targets in seating and common areas throughout the stadium, these antennas create dedicated floor zones that result in improved coverage to the field areas for fans in 12 field-level suites and the Mercedes-Benz End Zone Club, teams and on-field media and broadcast elements. The project is also adding 2,500 new wireless access points placed in areas such as concourses, atriums, suites and food and beverage areas for better WiFi coverage.

    • FCC: "We remain committed to helping with recovery efforts in states affected by Hurricane Helene. We stand ready to do all that is necessary to return connectivity to hard-hit areas and save lives." SpaceX: "SpaceX and @TMobile have been given emergency special temporary authority by the @FCC to enable @Starlink satellites with direct-to-cell capability to provide coverage for cell phones in the affected areas of Hurricane Helene. The satellites have already been enabled and started broadcasting emergency alerts to cell phones on all networks in North Carolina. In addition, we may test basic texting (SMS) capabilities for most cell phones on the T-Mobile network in North Carolina. SpaceX’s direct-to-cell constellation has not been fully deployed, so all services will be delivered on a best-effort basis." Space posted this at 2pm today on X.
